Well, it is ok, but you could find Visual Studio 2008 more useful than
2005 even when not dealing with that new stuff. One example is a
dataset designer, where Visual Studio 2008 can generate much better
codebehind code than 2005 - you can part the actual dataset and
datatables in different classes and take advantage of the newly
generated TableAdapterManager class to update all tables in a dataset
at once, in one transaction. If you're developing web projects, Visual
Studio 2008 now offers Javascript intellisense and debugging, better
CSS tools, etc...
In general, Visual Studio 2008 is not just about support for FX
3.0/3.t technologies, it's also about offering better tools and
overall experience when dealing with apps for 2.0.
